Abstract: the widespread adoption of information-communication technology in everyday life including the internet and mobile phones provides a great opportunity to improve the organisation of diabetes mellitus (dm) care delivery.this paper presents the conceptual design of an intelligent information system to provide tele-monitoring and tele-care services for insulin-treated diabetic patients twenty four hours per day at the point and time where and when it is needed.the proposed system supports a new visit form called virtual visit during which the patient contacts a computer program instead of a real doctor or nurse for assistance, guidance or advice.in addition to patient self-management, health care personnel are also supported by a wide range of information management and decision support services.We expect that the new architecture shall improve efficiency, patient satisfaction and health results.
